The benefits of being the first discoverers!
Weed’s face was widened with a satisfied smile.
“2x……”
Doubled the rewards from questing. Furthermore, there were substantially more benefits undisclosed. Besides being the first discoverers here, they were bound to be the first discoverers in the Kingdom of Vampires, Toteum; that meant the loots and EXP from hunting there will also yield 2x. Pale and Irene, too, were delighted.
“Gained reputation.”
“It’s a good thing.”
Weed quickened his steps entering the village.
“Let’s go.”
But everybody else was hesitant; after all, they’re the first to enter a village full of vampires! This was a completely new land, not of the Versailles continent. They were impressed and excited into frozen stiffs at the entrance of the village. Especially Maylon, from the second she settled her sights toward the vampire village. Beautifully built homes in the forms of villas, and cape wearing vampires roaming the streets were intoxicating.
‘Well, exotics are parts of the adventures too.’
She did not know where to begin. Then Mapan bellowed.
“Yeah. C’mon!”
Yurin too, considered this was a great prospect. Painters such as herself traveled in order to visit cities and view landscapes with the intention to paints to increase their skill’s mastery. Therefore, the newly discovered Seirun village provided her an opportunity to paint dozens of pictures.
Weed and Mapan entered the town together and made their way toward the stores. They needed to dispose of some of the imported goods they bought from Morata, not to mention checking on new equipments and obtaining maps of the town. Mapan got the pricings from various owners regarding loots and let out a scream of joy.
“They’re selling rubies and sapphires and jewelries at very expensive prices. Furs and rugs too!”
“YES!”
Weed was more delighted than usual. (*evil hint*)
“You’re so lucky, Mapan-nim.”
“Hope you reap a huge profit as well.”
Pale and Surka handed out the congratulations. Though he hadn’t done anything yet, Mapan felt as if he’ll reap a huge return; yet he viewed Weed in suspense.
‘It’s all thanks to Weed-nim that brought me here.’
Back on the continent, Mapan did well selling stuff also, but he did not have a large profit margin nor were his items guaranteed to sell. But here, an unexplored region along with a town full of vampires!
Being the first to sell goods in this village meant he’d be able to receive the special treatment of reaping an extra 20-30 percent in addition to the selling price. Not many merchant can have a chance like that. But Weed’s face showed no hint of envy at all as he handed Mapan the opportunity; in fact, the smile he built simply mimic that of a baby who was in bliss.
Pale nodded his head.
‘I knew it! Weed-nim is a good man.’
The shameful Surka wanted to go somewhere to hide.
“I guess I misunderstood Weed-nim. I should broaden my interpretation wider like the seas that embraces everything, rather than judging something over just one instant.”
So Weed was still smiling and glowing without creasing a single wrinkle, told Mapan.
“Mapan-nim, please let’s go sell your stuff.”
“You think so?”
“Yes. You should grab hold of this opportunity as the values here are more than the original.”
Mapan came up to a trading post and began to negotiate. The owner of it was of course a vampire.
“I brought some pretty jewelry here with me; ohh Mr. merchant, and I just want to sell them,” Mapan pulled out ten rolls of furs, five stacks of rugs, along with three gems, “what are your offers?”
“250,000G. Nah, no. Stuff like these goes for 270,000G.”
“Ahh I’m sorry. That price is lower than expected.”
“Damn! Don’t go! On second thought, I’m able to pay as much as 303,000G for them.”
1st stage bargaining succeeded.
If you decide to sell goods, all merchant skills will rise with +2.3% each.
Mapan swallowed his saliva. The costs of purchasing these goods totaled only to 110,000G! The offer he just got was nothing more than a jackpot, made more than twice the gold he paid for. But Mapan greed decided for him.
“Though that may sound like a decent price; but to me, I prefer to go elsewhere……”
The vampire built a long face. Mapan, who was also in the trade of deceiving, hinted a leaving gesture. The conflicted vampire suggested.
“This is a gesture out of the kindness of my heart. 368,000G. I’m sure you’d show the same kind of gestures when you’re out to purchase goods. I do not care for how much you purchased them for where you were, but I can not go any higher.”
2nd stage bargaining succeeded.
If you decide to sell goods, all merchant skills will rise with +6.2% each.
Mapan mouth widened and remained open for a while, he himself couldn’t believe the jackpot he just hit.
“You don’t want to sell at this price?”
“Ohh, sorry. I’ll sell.”
Mapan handed over the goods he brought.
Ttiring!
